That's a success in my mind. I don't log on vacation, although I try and use the gym if I'm staying at a hotel.

I realise this isn't as good as the others, but the thing that has helped me this year, above all the others, has been not allowing myself to get too down when having a bad day (night on the booze, or a binge day happens). It took me many years to build up this weight. So by the same token, any weight loss I've had won't…

Looking amazing and a Titans fan!! Double success!

I work out in the morning and take nothing other than a caffeine pill (I don't drink coffee or tea) and some water.

Thank you for this. Just got a Move UP and didn't know about which app to log what in.

Which powder are you using? Using MyProtein, even with a shaker (and I usually use the nutribullet) I don't get the grainy problem. I've started using their unflavoured and then blending in some strawberries or raspberries for flavour.

I make myself have a huge glass of water first, and then if still stupidly hungry, have a snack or cashews

My PT gives me some cardio to warm up before my strength training, and then some cardio to finish.

Yeah, you'll probably get differing opinions. Depends what type of diet you're going for.I assume you're doing the same diet as myself, ULC (ultra low carb) trying to reset the metabolism. I prefer to limit the fruit due to the sugar and insulin response. You can start re-introducing carbs and fruit back in after a month…

Is there not a lot of sugar in that though? The worry I have with using juicers is that too much fruit is used and causes insulin spikes

This. Fat doesn't make you fat. High sugar and carbohydrate does this is most (not everyone is the same).

Yes, but if you can, make it from scratch at home. Had a supermarket fresh soup last friday as my homemade stuff had run out and it had 2/3rds the sugar of a can of coca cola.

Afternoon all. Brewster here *doffs cap* Have yoyo ever more wildly the last few years (evidence in profile). Hopefully can finally just lose weight this year. Cheers all

The non-deadlift day of the Stronglift routine.

I'm getting there (a long way to go though) 22lbs down and into 38 waist jeans for the first time since just after University, 10years ago. Good luck fella. Salad lunches and getting into a daily gym visit (with a day or two at most off a week) have been the reasons I've stuck with it so far. Got best mate's wedding coming…

Was told to do weights before cardio. From a PT friend of mine

Just wow!

Edited post for you. Amazing work!!! After: Now: (in america lol) [/quote]

Flipping heck. You look great!! Nice work

I'm the worst at this. If you look at my diary since starting up again in February, my weight tracking is just a constant down and then a bit back up, and then down and back up again. The problem is that when I do my exercise and eating well I go so hell for leather than when i fall off the wagon, I fall massively and do…

Noramlly just a banana

I would say go back to the gym or whichever exercise you were doing as soon as you can. Most bad patches I go through ALWAYS end once i've dragged my *kitten* back to the gym. I get that Serotonin kick that lifts me out of my bad patch and motivates me to go again the next day and eat well that day.

I'd agree with the OP's post. Now there are days I do come in aroun 1300 (which for my size is pretty low), but that's only due to work being very busy and not being hungry. But My MFP target is around 1800-1900 calories and I normally stick to that. Otherwise I just ruins things like energy levels and blood sugar.

Zoe, try to chill and not over-scrutinise the weigtht part otherwise you'll constantly be worrying over small amounts. The main thing is that you keep going with whatever changes you've made, or extra exercise/hobbies you're now doing. Everyone has a week where the put on a bit. But there's actually a good chance that its…

Iced Gems :love:

Wow, ladies thank you sooo much. Really appreciate the replies. Will take on board a little from each. Had completely missed the shrimps and the chicken and rice; will make sure I definitely not skip my daily workout tomorrow morning; and hadn't even thought of the to-go box. Brilliant, thank you!!

Banana in the morning. Soup, Slice of turkey/ham/beef or some tuna + sweetcorn, small yoghurt Reduced sugar jelly in the afternoon or fruit. Chicken or Fish plus couscous in the evening Sometimes that can be over, but normally its close to 1200
